Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act
To amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to prohibit the use of the image of living political figures on the America the Beautiful-the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.
This bill, HB7251, seeks to change the America the Beautiful-the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass by banning the use of images of living political figures on these passes. Currently, the passes may feature various images, including those of notable individuals, but this bill aims to prevent any depictions of living politicians to avoid potential political bias.
The changes would impact anyone who uses these passes, including tourists, outdoor enthusiasts, and regular park visitors. By removing political images, the passes would remain neutral and avoid any political associations, ensuring they are used purely for recreational purposes.
Introduced on January 27, 2026, the bill is currently in its initial stage. It has been referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on Agriculture for further review and consideration. The next steps will involve committee discussions and potential amendments before any vote in the House.
